  • Demonstrated success building or scaling partnership programs that drive measurable sales growth.
  • Strong business acumen and data-driven approach to lead generation.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship management skills.
  • Self-starter mentality — able to work cross-functionally and build structure from the ground up.
  • Passion for sustainability, innovation, and mission-driven growth.
  • Nice-to-Haves :

  • Experience in eCommerce, packaging, sustainability, or consumer products sectors.
  • MBA or advanced business degree preferred but not required.
